MARGAO: Accusing Chief Minister Pramod Sawant being insensitive to the human tragedy that is unfolding in the State, United Goans Democratic Party President Dr Jorson Fernandes on Saturday demanded that the government should own moral responsibility, and quit.
The BJP government is callous, playing with the lives of Goans, what with contradictory statements from the Health Department, the sad happenings are proof that the leadership has failed and failed miserably, with the loss of precious 30 to 36 lives being a catastrophe, and the lockdown being too little and coming too late, he stated.
Criticising further Dr Jorson said everyone who brought BJP to power has overall India’s blood on their hands and the ravaging double mutant strain of COVID-19 especially in the last 24 hours in the State is a very serious cause for concern. And it was the government’s making since it is spreading in South Goa from Margao to Canacona via Quepem and Sanguem after the municipal councils elections, reasoned out Dr Jorson.
He also said that the State leads with a 51 per cent positivity rate whereas the national rate is just 7 per cent. The BJP government has registered a dubious record indeed, in the long run reaching even a world record at the cost of precious human lives.
Figures point that there were active cases on the voting day on April 23 and these became detected on the sixth day of voting on April 29. Couldn’t the Election Commission foresee the tragedy that is unfolding now.
UGDP Chief said that the Election Commission should be held responsible as it is seen that infections are now spreading rapidly in South Goa at a phenomenal rate.
